.223 brass > AR Discussions

Posted: 7/5/2007 4:54:18 AM EDT

I have about 1000 or so rounds of emty .223 brass. I was wondering what to do with it. I have been thinking about reloading or finding someone who reloads to give my brass to. What do you guys do with your empties.

I’m in the same situation. I have 5.56mm, 9mm and .45 brass piling up and I do not reload. I guess we have two options:

1) Sell locally to someone who does reload.
2) Sell to the scrap metal dealer.

I just called a scrap metal dealer the other day with the same question. He said he give .75 cents per pound on brass cases. I'm not sure if that's a good deal or not, I want to check some other places.

At the local gun show, you can sometimes get a discount on new ammo if you trade in old brass. I would like to reload them myself, maybe someday.

What’s the typical “asking price” on once fired .223 brass? Say 1000 cases. Not in anyway prepped, just “as is” from the range?

I just sold a bunch on the EE for $50 per thousand. (back in April )

I had no takers at $60, dropped the price to $50 and sold out in a day. 7500 rounds total.

closed EE item

Fer godsakes don't scrap it. 1000 rounds is 14 pounds or Ten dollars.

$50>$10

Buy a press and start reloading. The way ammo prices keep going up it is better to reload quality ammo than pay the same if not more for or to adequate ammo.

I wish I had 1k of empty .223 brass. I'd reload those suckers. Shop around and you can buy all components needed and end up at about $.21 a round. This of course would be quality reloaded stuff made yourself.

These guys will take your brass and give you a discount on ammo.

Ok, I went through some of my brass and some cases are dented as pictured below. Is this brass still suitable for reloading?

YES

I reload for HANDGUN calibers

My range was my back yard so I did some MAJOR SHOOTING EVERYDAY

but since Q3131 and surplus is getting high
